2014 RFP - Minerals Geoscience: Proposals that will be considered should be of an applied and innovative nature and relate to geology, mineral deposits, or metallogeny of BC, or address an exploration method or technique that will enhance exploration interest and success in BC.

The RFP closing date is June 30, 2014 at 12pm (Pacific). Proposals received on or before noon on May 20, 2014 will have the greatest potential to receive funding for part of the 2014 field season. Proposals that do not conform to the submission guidelines will be disregarded.

Proponents are advised that Geoscience BC requires all projects accepted for funding to enter into a Project Agreement with Geoscience BC. Proponents (particularly university-based proponents) are advised to review Geoscience BC's terms and conditions prior to submitting a proposal. If you would like an example of a Project Agreement or if you have any questions about the agreements they should be directed to Andrea Clifford, Project Coordinator and Communications Manager (contact info in Minerals RFP file).
